MINT Days 2025: University of Kassel offers insights into research and teaching

The University of Kassel is inviting school classes, advanced courses and study groups with their teachers to the STEM Days from February 10 to 12. The event offers the opportunity to use laboratories, workshops and an extensive lecture program as an extracurricular learning venue. The aim is to promote interest in scientific and technical careers and to draw attention to the wide range of study opportunities in the STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Teachers can register their school classes until January 31. The opening event on February 10 is accessible without registration.

Three young people at the computer. — The MINT Days are one of the formats used by the MINT Hub to reach the public.

The MINT Days will kick off on February 10, 2025 in the Campus Center at Holländischer Platz. From 4 p.m., the "Hands-on Mathematics" traveling exhibition by the Mathematikum Gießen in the foyer invites visitors to playfully explore mathematical puzzles and phenomena.

At 5 p.m., the "Physikanten" will present their science show in Lecture Hall 1 of the Campus Center. With impressive experiments and clear explanations, they have been communicating physical relationships in an entertaining way for over 20 years. Admission to both programs is free of charge.

Insights into the Faculties and cooperation

On February 11 and 12, the doors of the University of Kassel's STEM Faculties at Holländischer Platz, Oberzwehren and Wilhelmshöher Allee will be open. Visitors can expect practice-oriented workshops, laboratory insights and various science-related lectures on these days. School classes can thus experience the University of Kassel campus as an extracurricular place of learning.

The event was planned in advance in close cooperation with the STEM Hub at the University of Kassel and the State Education Authority. In November 2024, STEM representatives and teachers from secondary schools in the region had the opportunity to find out more about the university's offerings and clarify individual questions at a staff meeting.

Furthermore, the STEM Days are realized with the support of Micromata GmbH, SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK | ARVOS GmbH and Kasseler Verkehrs-Gesellschaft.
